VHF/FM Radio Equipment, Software, & Associated Support Services

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is conducting market research for VHF/FM radio equipment, software, and support services for the NAS Recovery Communications (RCOM) Program. Managed by the Command and Control Communications (C3) Division, this initiative involves migrating radio systems from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz channel spacing to meet NTIA narrowband mandates. The FAA is using this notice to identify small businesses and other interested sources before finalizing an acquisition strategy. The anticipated procurement is a Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Motorola Land Mobile Radio (LMR) equipment, maintenance, software updates, and installation. Technical requirements include P25 compliance, a one-business-day response time for issue resolution, and comprehensive asset tracking. Responses are due by July 6, 2026, and will inform decisions on potential set-asides and the use of Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation. Performance is centered in Washington, DC. The provided documents include a Statement of Work and a Market Survey with specific submission instructions. The agency is evaluating authorized Motorola resellers and considering small business set-asides or LPTA evaluation. The FAA C3 Division is procuring VHF/FM radio equipment and services for a nationwide system migration.
